  • Anyone fancy giving some opinions on (an extract from) the survey report we've just had back?

    It's an early 1900s stone-built terrace in a Welsh valley town, so damp is to be expected, but should I be worried? Roof issues are my main concern and will likely send us back to the seller to renegotiate, but any views would be incredibly appreciated cos I have no idea what I'm doing here.

  • It doesn't mention that the internal plaster finish may be coal dust plaster (because Victorian and Wales), which is fucking terrible stuff, and worth being aware of if you have to strip the plaster to sort the damp.
